The appeal of Edinburgh posters

With our Edinburgh posters assortment, however, you can have these views in your space, all year, through every season and occasion. Another thing the Scottish capital has going for it is the abundance of green space. Woven into the city, one can find plenty of parks, scenic spaces and cool hangouts. It is no wonder there is such a great energy going through Edinburgh since it has so many students, with some studying in university buildings have some deep history. Edinburgh University, for example, boasts the oldest purpose-built Student Union building in the world. Bring this youthful spirit coupled with historic regality into your interiors with our array of Edinburgh posters.

Beautiful history

The rich history in Edinburgh posters will serve as great context and guaranteed conversation starter when people see it as your focal point in the interior decoration. The name of the city itself evolved from "Dun Eiden", meaning "fort on the hill slope", to "Eiden Burh" after it was captured by invading Angles from the South, who were the ancestors of the lands that would eventually become England. Edinburgh’s history remained turbulent in the following centuries, changing hands between the Scottish and English as war after war ravaged the British Isles. Ultimately, the Treaty of Union in 1706 united the warring nations under the unified kingdom of Great Britain. After a near 100 years building an entirely new town to combat poverty and overpopulation, Edinburgh’s New Town was built in neo-classical and Georgian style, and stemmed out from the base of Edinburgh’s mighty Castle, running along the central Princes Street. This historic street is something you can see in Edinburgh posters like "Edinburgh's Princes Street Taken at Midday". A beautiful motif in black and white such as this can lend your walls some serious style and mystique.

Edinburgh posters that enchant

As already mentioned, architecture fans will absolutely delight in this category of Edinburgh posters. You can see glorious sights such as the Edinburgh Castle, which sits high above the city, brooding atop an extinct volcano. Its weather-scarred battlements afford some of the best views of the city, with over a million annual visitors scaling its grounds! Edinburgh posters like "Edinburgh Scotland Skyline Black" also show riveting buildings like The Royal Mile, which is the artery that sustains all life in Edinburgh’s Old Town, running downhill from the castle to the Royal Palace of Holyroodhouse. These motifs come in different hues, allowing you match, or contrast them with your desired aesthetic.
